The Compendium includes a collection of topics written by Abigail Keyes that was inspired by Jamila's Article Book. Students need a solid, referenced, and verified introduction to topics from which they can begin their own research. Ms. Keyes has created that resource with topics from "What is 'the Middle East'?" and "The Harem" to "Orientalism" and "Feminism". If you are a belly dancer, you need this reference book!

The book is organized by Contents and Index, and a lengthy Bibliography is provided for additional research. This volume also includes an expanded 40+ page biography of Jamila Salimpour written by Jamila and Suhaila Salimpour. Sections:
